Explanation:
The Cournot assumption simplifies the strategic interaction among firms in an oligopoly by positing that each firm determines its profit-maximizing production level under the assumption that other firms' output levels remain unchanged. This eliminates the need for firms to anticipate retaliatory actions by competitors, thereby streamlining pricing and production decisions.
Under the Cournot assumption in an oligopoly market, each firm determines its profit-maximizing production level by assuming that other firms will:
A
Reduce their output.
B
Maintain their current output levels.
C
Increase their output.
